Last month, participating in an offline cryptocurrency exchange meeting, a conversation with the boss of an asset management company completely overturned my previous understanding. He said, "No one really gets rich slowly; money is made through trial and error," which completely dismantled my long-held belief that "you must first fill your understanding before making money" and "you can't earn money outside your understanding."

I used to be afraid of pitfalls, thinking that I needed to thoroughly learn cryptocurrency knowledge and get my understanding right before taking action. But the boss laughed and said, "Who has understanding from the start? Everyone initially feels their way across the river by touching the stones: today, buy a popular coin based on trends, tomorrow, play a contract based on intuition; if you're lucky, you make a little money; if you're not, you lose it back. That's the most authentic state. If you want to chase better returns, you have to dare to touch those seemingly promising areas. Where's the good fortune in 'being fully prepared before entering the field'?"

I pressed on how to distinguish between luck and skill, and he gave a very practical answer: "Don't focus on single wins or losses; look at whether you can repeat the profit. For example, if you can seize the same opportunity and profit three times in a row, then you have skill; if you've only made money once and never seized it again, then that's pure luck."

Actually, beginners tend to swing to extremes: after making a profit once, they think they are naturally suited for trading cryptocurrencies, but after losing once, they believe they are not cut out for it. But the boss said, "Don't overthink these things—people often earn money outside their understanding. It's normal to make a few profits when lucky, and it's also normal to lose back what you can't hold on to. The key is not to get carried away when you earn, and not to be disheartened when you lose; maintain a calm mindset."

He also shared his own experience: at first, he also tried small profits and small losses back and forth. One day, he hit the right trend and took a step up, then held on to most of the profits and continued to experiment with a little money. "Who has 'full understanding' from the start? Everyone learns while trying, gaining insight through losses."

Thinking back, it's indeed the case: beginners shouldn't be afraid of "making money by luck," nor should they rush to "fill their understanding." They should take the bold first step of trial and error, gradually distinguish between luck and skill, and they will always find their own rhythm. If at this moment you feel helpless and confused in trading, and want to understand cryptocurrency knowledge and cutting-edge information, feel free to discuss together. @星宇币潮 #美联储降息预期升温 #隐私叙事回归
